CIA Lunch, Wings Castle and Millbrook: Paramus Bus Trip
The itinerary gives its clearest promise at the table: a three-course regional Italian lunch at the Culinary Institute of America’s Ristorante Caterina de’ Medici. On Nov. 13, Gilligan’s Adventures pairs that meal with a Wings Castle tour and a visit to Millbrook Vineyards, though the listing gives no times for the later stops and does not specify a wine tasting.
Two visits, without a published tasting plan
The included itinerary names a tour at Wings Castle, followed by a visit to Millbrook Vineyards. Neither stop has a published arrival or departure time, and the listing does not say that a wine tasting is part of the vineyard visit. Treat Millbrook as a listed visit, not as a confirmed tasting.
